7.2 RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6.7.1.1 RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11 Looks.4.2 RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6.With Heidi and Jaida both shimmering in purple gowns, whipping and slinking across the runway, this lipsync is iris-tinglingly pleasing, like ASMR for the eyes. Heidi and Jaida Essence Hall are in the bottom two and Sherry Pie is safe. Lipsync for your LIFEĬrystal finally wins a challenge. Gigi’s is Scoobalicious and Jaida’s is breathlessly gorgeous – Beyonce just put down her salmon blini and sat up sharply. well, it’s very Jaida Essence Hall (on a budget). ![]() The runway theme is “The Colour Purple” – very good. Jaida tells a “shocking” story which, by the standards of drag and Drag Race, really isn’t that shocking. Sherry using her status as an accomplished performer to be manipulative and domineering? Quelle surprise. Sherry’s seems interesting but at 17 minutes, takes over three times longer than it’s supposed to. Although as we’ve established, clever and funny doesn’t necessarily make for marketable comedy. ![]() Gigi is visibly struggling to remember some of her lines, but when she does, they’re the cleverest and funniest lines of all the girls’ routines. Heidi looks incredible but the comedy falls flat – it’s like watching an awful school variety show performance. Crystal’s is hilarious – if this were in a drag competition in East London, it’d make the final for sure. Jackie’s show is touching and well-executed. Very good.Ĭrystal Methyd wows as Phenomenal Phil, exotic dance instructor to the stars. Dahlia Sin is in the audience as a broccoli. Michelle is in leprosy-print, Whoopi is looking her discerning best and – brace yourselves – we LIKE Ross Matthews’ jacket. A gorgeous look from Ru this week – pure glamour, pure drag, pure Vegas. It’s a little confusing, but it works, we approve. This one has the same structure as last week – Ru’s runway walk, some chat from the judges, THEN the execution of the main challenge, then the runway looks. We must have watched a different version of that film. Jaida says to Whoopi Goldberg that being on Drag Race is “almost exactly like” the journey of Celia in The Colour Purple. The most basic comedy is always the most successful. we just wanna laugh!” So basically, the Ru school of comedy is. Ru doesn’t like Sherry’s (actually quite clever) goldfish routine, saying “it’s high-concept. Or maybe Whoopi’s “I’m not drunk” reminds us of it more. “I now need to synthesise 34 years of my life into a 3-to-5 minute story,” says Jackie. 10 points to Heidi.ĭuring Jackie’s rehearsal, Ru and Whoopi keep saying “who are you?” and “we’re not seeing the real you” which must be two of the most frustrating things a performer can possibly hear. you in danger girl!” A reference to Whoopi’s iconic line and subsequent iconic gif, from the movie Ghost. If more people thought do to that, people would communicate better, there’d be less fights, less drama. Just look at the latest series of Westworld.Īs mini-challenge winner, Jackie Cox picks the running order and finishes by saying “speak now, because I don’t want people to come back and tell me things are shady later”. ![]() This SEEMS like it makes it easier but, actually, creating something without any limitations or guidelines can be much trickier, because it can run away from you. The show will be performed in front of a live audience, and Ru says that, in terms of the structure and format “anything goes”. In case you didn’t gather: we love Whoopi Goldberg and she must be protected at all costs. She plays herself in everything, but that’s fine, because herself is endlessly entertaining and hilarious and wonderful. Whoopi Goldberg just makes everything better. Oh, and they’ll be judged by one of the world’s few EGOT winners, Whoopi Goldberg. If anything scrutinises their rolodex of talents, it’s this. The dolls are tasked with writing, creating and starring in their own one-woman show. The main challenge this week is a great one. Heidi is very Yara Sofia in that respect. Heidi’s puppet portrayal of Crystal is characteristically Heidi – makes no sense but is somehow still hilarious. in trouble? This season has been nothing if not surprising. And she didn’t particularly stand out last week. Gigi Goode’s shady Jackie puppetry falls painfully flat. ![]() Jaida with her hand up puppet Gigi’s skirt.
